a man suspected of recruiting jihadi fighters for murderous Moslem groups in Syria and Iraq.
The Swedish security service, SAPO, says the man, who was not identified, was arrested Monday in the southern city of Orebro.
SAPO says at least 150 people have left the Nordic country to join the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
group, also known as ISIL or ISIS, and other murderous Moslems.
Orebro is the biggest source of imported muscle outside Sweden's three largest cities, Stockholm, Goteborg and Malmo.
SAPO said the recruitment in Orebro has been linked to individuals at local mosques and urged the public to report any suspicious activities.
It said terror-related recruiting activities in Sweden "directly contribute to the capability of terror organizations like ISIL."
Sweden's intelligence agency Sapo said Monday that it had made two arrests as part of a crackdown on radicalization and recruitment of Islamic turbans planning to fight in Iraq and Syria.
"The Security Service raided two locations in Sweden, targeting suspected terrorist recruitment and training," the agency said in a statement.
The raids took place in the capital Stockholm and the central Swedish town of Orebro.
According to public broadcaster SR a 45-year old man was nabbed
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
in Orebro.
Sapo said it had found links between a mosque in the town and another mosque in Eskilstuna, east of Stockholm, "which has served as meeting points".
"We want to point out that it's not the religious communities which are involved," the agency added, saying that "criminal individuals" had used the premises and recruited mainly in cafes and other meeting places.
Public prosecutor Ronnie Jacobsson told SR that the Stockholm arrest was linked to the sharing of "information on the manufacture of explosives with a person in Syria".
According to Sapo, 110 people are known to have traveled to Syria and Iraq from Sweden to join Islamic Lion of Islam groups but that the figure may be as high as 300.
